TEHRAN: The Israeli military continues to launch waves of strikes against Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as major cities.

Israeli strike hits Kermanshah facility storing ballistic missiles
Videos confirmed by Al Jazeera show fires breaking out in western Iran after Israel this morning struck an underground facility storing ballistic missiles in Kermanshah near the Iraqi border.
However, Iranians are demanding a swift response to a wave of strikes by Israel. Some have taken to the streets to protest while others have sheltered inside.
As Iran continued to assess the damage, some residents rallied in Tehran, chanting, “Death to Israel. Death to America,” while waving Iranian flags and portraits of Supreme Leader Khamenei.
State television said similar demonstrations were held in other cities across the country. “How much longer are we going to live in fear”, asked Ahmad Moadi, a 62-year-old retiree, in quotes carried by the media?
“As an Iranian, I believe there must be an overwhelming response, a scathing response,” he told media.
“They’ve killed so many university professors and researchers, and now they want to negotiate?” Moadi said, referring to calls for Iran to go ahead with nuclear talks with Israel’s US ally planned for this weekend.
“We can’t let this bastard continue, or we’ll end up like Gaza,” Abbas Ahmadi, a 52-year-old Tehran resident, told media from behind the wheel of his car, referring to Netanyahu. “Iran must destroy him. It must do something.”

Iran is unlikely to resume nuclear talks with US officials soon after pulling out of this weekend’s negotiations in Oman, says Mohammad Eslami, a research fellow at Tehran University.
“The only thing that the Israeli attack destroyed totally was the diplomatic solution that was under way between the Iranian [diplomats] and the Americans,” Eslami said from Tehran. (Int’l News Desk)
